METERBRIDGE
Meterbridge
Overview
All three versions of the console’s meterbridge house left-right VU meters
(see “Output Module” Chapter 4) and the cue speaker. The 18-position frame
meterbridge also includes the digital timer display, and the 26-position frame
meterbridge includes the digital timer display and the digital clock.
The meterbridge assembly hinges open for easy access (VU meter illumi-
nation replacement, setting the clock). Simply swing the bridge up and back
until it rests in a fully opened position.
Digital Timer
The console timer control buttons are located on the OM-55e Output Mod-
ule (see page 4-2).
The timer is provided with an AUTO-RESTART function so programmed
input modules can automatically reset the timer display to zero and start a new
count, allowing the announcer to easily track his own pace.
The START/STOP button halts the timer, holds the last count, and
then restarts and accumulates the count when depressed again
—
perfect for
compiling tapes of desired duration.
RESET has a dual-mode capability:
- if you depress it while the timer is counting, the display will instantly
reset to zero and start a fresh count;
- if the timer is already stopped, depressing this button will reset the timer
to zero, where it will hold until start is pressed.
HOLD button allows you to hold the display for a longer viewing duration,
while still allowing the counter to continue in the background. Releasing the
button will then display the current count.
